Excerpt from Maclean's Magazine, Vol. 29: November-December 1915

GO back to the campaign planned for the December session of Congress and for the Presidential contest in 1916!

Let us see just what support such a campaign can expect in votes.

First are twenty million Austrians and Germans and their adherents - that is, the middle-west both sides of the Mississippi.

Second are branches of the Irish Americans. These men are Democrats; but they are not Wilson Democrats. They are the people ostensibly managing the truth societies, the peace societies, the Bryan propaganda. They are al ready organized and collecting as a war chest from $80 to $100 a day in popular $1 subscriptions.

Third is the South - the cotton country of people, planters, farmers, bankers, fertilizer companies, railways. The cotton South is to-day solidly Wil son; but should cotton as a result of its being listed as contraband decline to 6 cents here while it is 30 cents in Austria and Germany and Russia, how long do you think the South would back Wilson unless he opposed such a ruling as to contraband?
